The boat show is not normally worth going to get a bargain your better off waiting for the tackle store sales.

Few tackle stands around. I didn't look much at them but one of them did have Abu veritas rods @80 dollars which is a really good price. That included jigging models as well.

The boat shows always been about having a perve at new boats, having a perve at the promo models (if they haven't been banned), buying a new boat/trailer/boat parts and stuff all to do with actual fishing gear
